Exactly Like Broiled Meat.
This fungus (Festulina hepatica),
which resembles great red tongue
protrudlng from tree stems. when once
known can never be mistaken for any
other species. When young it is a
dull. pale purplish red. but becomes
more red, and passes through brown to
black as it decays. The under side is
cream color with minute red points Oc-
casionally, becoming yellowish red as
it grows. 1t GENERALLY confines itself
to old (and often prostrate) oaks; but
in Epping Forest it is not uncommon
on the beech. and it has been observed
on the chestnut. walnut, willow and
other trees. Although such large
fungus, frequently weighing from four
to six pounds, its growth is very rapid,
soon appearing and again disappear
ing, on ancient trunks in the autumn.
When cut, broken or bruised it distills
a copious red juice like beef gravy.

it as lone of the best things he ever
ate. when prepared by a skillful cook.
There is very slight acid favor in the
fungus when cooked. which adds con-
siderable piquancy to the dish; it is ex-
tremely tender, succulent and juicy,
and resembles tender steak or tongue
in a remarkable manner, the juice it
distills being in taste and appearance
like gravy from an excellent broiled
rump-steak OF course it should be
gathered when quite young, fresh and
clean, and at once prepared for the
table in the following manner: Wash

wide. soak in sealding water for five

feet. overlook the plain of Attakapas to

thick as the Chinese wall runs for seven
miles around the uplands, dividing it
from the sca-marshes.
When the roses and magnolias and
orange plantations which encircles the
house are in bloom they send their soft
greetings through the pure air for
miles across the prairies.
The plantation is in charge of an

GROOMING HORSES.
A Matter OF Special Importance During
the Winter Months.


A majority of those who have the
care of horses appear to think that
when the animals, have been brushed
and rubbed on the body. so that they
look sleek and clean, this is all that is
required, and they neglect the most
important part, the care of the legs
and feet. As all know. horse may be
able to do his work regularly If not
kept we'll cleaned, but if his legs and
feet are neglected so that he becomes
lame, he is then useless. no matter how
well he may appear bodily. At the
season when horses will be kept in the
stable much of the time, this matter is
of special Importance A horse that
stands with his feet in filth constantly
is sure to show the effects of it Many
stables are so constructed that they are
not easily kept clean. and so are neg
lected, with the result that the horses
kept in them become affected with
thrush, grease and other troubles of
the feet and legs. 1t should be borne
in mind that the feet ought to be kept
dry and clean. and particularly should
the legs and feet have attention when
the horse is brought in from work on
muddy roads. Where the horses are
kept in stalls. these should be arranged
so good drainage can be obtained. and
they should be kept clean and well sup
piled with dry bedding. that the horse
may rest comfortably. Box stalls are
an advantage, for in these horse can
move about and find much more COM
fort than when confined in a narrow
stall. and can be kept well cleaned
with much less trouble.-NdtionaI
